Stecca in Kensington and Chelsea

Lovely food with a god choice of modern Italian food. Great menu, nice bright and open venue. Good selection of wine.

Just a short walk up from chelsea and Westminster hospital. Booked online via the fork. Lovely interior with white table cloths. Quiet on a Monday lunch time. Pre food complimentary olives. Had the chicken Milanese- good and the rabbit ragout pappardelle- good. Service was good- service charge of 13.5% Would highly recommend it.

The service was wonderful. We had booked a wonderful table outside. The presentation of the food was mouth-watering. It was the best of what we love about Italian cuisine. The tuna and sea bass carpaccio was all fresh and delicious! The risotto was just right. The lamb melted in the mouth. We really enjoyed our friend's birthday lunch. 10/10!

Our first visit to this Italian restaurant that is local to us and was very impressed with a varied menu of quality Italian fare. We started with the bresaola and calamari which were both delicious followed by the sea bass (my wife) and veal Milanese (me). The Veal Milanese was very generous, served on the bone and perfectly cooked. The waiting staff were extremely attentive and friendly - faultless service really. Whilst I can see other reviewers have commented on the prices being expensive, I’d say that whilst it’s not cheap, I wouldn’t say it is priced out of step with the neighbourhood.

We’ve been coming to this restaurant since it first opened. It’s expensive but it is delicious. Lobster pasta was sublime and the veal chop was perfectly cooked. Spinach side was great and the cannoli…omg. I just wish they would bring the bar back so when I just feel like popping in for a meal, I would not have to sit at a table.

It was an excellent surprise. Food is very good and tasty. The carte has all traditional Italian food that’s you can dream of. The restaurant is cosy and have a small terrace during summer. The service was welcoming and food was served in a timely manner. The combo Price/location/quality makes the restaurant a must go in that neighbourhood

We booked the restaurant in advance after checking the menu. The food was mediocre and overpriced. My wife’s steak was dry and not appetising and my half lobster was not that great. We paid too much for a less than average meal.

If you are looking for good vibes, you are in the right place. Great quality food and nice staff. Well done!

Great palce to have Italian food. Try the pasta and the antipasti . Professional staff. Out door sitting. Highly recommended

Great authentic Italian, highly frequented by Italians. They often have tables even last minute and they serve food until quite late for London standards! The best dish is the Truffle Cacio e Pepe in my opinion. Quality of all dishes is super high. Atmosphere is super nice, it’s one of these places you can go for any occasion - with friends, a date or even when your parents are in town.

We booked very late for an evening meal but were accommodated with enthusiasm. We were seated in a cosy table to the rear of the restaurant which actually felt like a private room. The food was a sensation of fresh and flavoursome ingredients. So good was the food and the ambience it felt like we were sitting in a restaurant in Italy and not central London where some Italian eateries can be a little two dimensional and fake. Totally intend to visit again

Avis mitigé pour ce beau restaurant italien. Service, cadre très bien. Plats très bons sauf le caccio e pepe black truffle qui ne sentait en aucun cas le pepe. Je l'ai dit au serveur.. sans que ca l interpelle plus que ca. Decevant sur ce point.

Came here for lunch on Monday which was a quiet time to come to the restaurant. Apparently evenings are very full. The food was very nice. Great selection of raw appetizers and some nice pasta options. The cannoli dessert also very good.

Four of us had a very pleasant meal at this smart looking restaurant... That it was a Chelsea Football Night made for a noisier neighborhood thus the sliding front doors had to be closed to seal off the street and terrace diners! A Fish Soup and Carpacio as starters together with an Eggplant Parmesan were superb. Branzino entrees and a Scottish Filet were all nicely done. Two bottles of a nice Dolcetto Wine completed our selections. Really nice family evening at just over Sterling 267.00 or ($333.75 9/19).

Went for dinner and could not be more satisfied. The food is beautifully done and very tasty; Giampiero, the manager, is an absolute expert and could not recommend better dishes and drinks. Pricing are in line with restaurant category and location. Definitely recommended.

Enjoyed a relaxing informal family dinner here at this neigbourhood Italian around the corner from our London home. Friendly staff, great service and superb, tasty and authentic food. This is real Italian cooking and is highly recommended. We will be back.

With the vast improvement of the London food scene there has been a boom in new Italian Restaurants. So having spent time in Italy I have mostly been left wanting for a number of reasons. However this past weekend I ate at Stecca. What a...

This is simply a lovely restaurant, the kind you go to when you want a personal touch, and not be treated like a nameless, faceless client. Every staff member was attentive, funny, engaging and like they truly valued their customers. The chef circulated amongst clients...

Had a fabulous dinner here with friends during a week night. The calamari is highly recommended as is the rocket salad. The place is quite small with neutral decor. However excellent service and food makes the difference. We had a corner table that afforded us...

Having a good seafood dinner in London is definitely not easy but at Stecca we were particularly disappointed. The quality of the fish was below average and everything was overpriced. The tagliolini with Lobster (£25) were far from the standard we were expecting and the...

We visited at the recommendation of the Concierge at our hotel and we are so happy we were able to secure a reservation for 10 people at short notice. Our food was such high quality and the staff were friendly and attentive, recommend very highly...

Really precise, excellent renditions of some classic dishes together with some inventive pairing made this a real treat. The Scallops Gratinée were world class - I have not had better cooked translucent scallops at 3 star Michelin restaurants. Vitello Tonnato was beautifully done and the...

The food is nothing special and overpriced and their service needs great improvement. We had a reservation for 2 and they insisted we get the table close to the entrance, which I insisted I did not want and was happy to wait for another table...

Family night out to celebrate my birthday. Recommend by friends and what a great find. We had a very delicious Italian dinner in great surrounding and expert service. My son had a prawn carpaccio that was exquisite as were all the other dishes we had....

Stecca is one of our favorite Italian restaurants with good price for the top quality of the food. We are regulars now and love the friendly Italian atmosphere.

Good food let down by the atmosphere. We had expected Stecca to be elegant and dressed accordingly for the occasion. The food is certainly good decent Italian food but it is served in a bright white smallish room. The clientele were rather casual, something you...

I took my husband here to celebrate his 50th birthday as I was looking for somewhere really special to mark this milestone and spoil him. We had an AMAZING time at Stecca. Stefano was in and personally came out to welcome us and make sure...

Stecca is like our week kitchen, we've been there at least once a month, very good service, wine and food at a fair price. The pasta with Truffle is something incredible.

First time here but cannot wait to come back. Truly excellent food, fantastic service, and great value.

I was there in June a couple of times and did go agan with friends. Food is excellent, wine selection very good and service fantastic.

I was invited to a birthday dinner here and everyone in the party had a great meal. My favourite was the raw fish starter, I could have had 3 of them! I then had a great spaghetti with bottarga. Other friends loved the parmigiana and...

I celebrated my birthday at Stecca. We tried different excellent antipisti (ao tuna,ceviche, parmigiana, popcorn calamari) , the paccheri cacio & pepe with black truffle was divine. Exceptionally warm and friendly service.

Went with a few friends and cannot recommend this place enough. The food was deliciously fresh, super tasty, and creative yet simple. The atmosphere was warm and the service impecable.

We had fantastic eve with delicious food and service which recommended when going for an Italian style dish and service.

My first visit to Stecca was with friends for a birthday lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed the bright sunny room, the food was delicious - I had the lobster pasta and would highly recommend. The service was attentive but not overbearing. I have been back twice...

I know the place well as I know the dedication of Stefano to search for the best ingredients however yesterday I was surprised. The ventresca (raw belly tuna) was served with a touch of olive oil and salt. The product came from Sicily. It was...

Friday lunch with a group of girlfriends at this friendly Italian restaurant on Hollywood Road Delicious food - and no problem ordering coeliac friendly! Every plate that appeared on the table looked super tasty ( especially the lobster spaghetti!) my fish with spinach was perfect...

Stecca's been open for a while, and we literally live round the corner, so I've no idea why it took us so long to go there. And now I'm cross we didn't visit earlier. It's terrific - one of those restaurants where it's difficult to...

We had a wonderful family dinner with our children who are visiting from New Zealand. We received a warm welcome from staff on arrival. Very helpful descriptions of food. Our dinner was delicious. Loved everything. Great choice of food and wine. We will be back.

Been here twice already in a week. The quality of every ingredient used is better than the best. The food is just out of this world. I have been to many many restaurants in my line of work, nothing comes close in terms of food...

Was taken as a treat for the special truffle evening and the food was fantastic. All based on white truffle and can honestly say every course was delicious. Great place, great atmosphere.

Absolutely impeccable food, service and ambiance. Where else in London would the chef/owner himself cut and serve veal escalope to his dinner guests?! STECCA speaks volumes to the way restaurants should be run in London, like they used to be 15 years ago...with warmth, personal...

SW10 is awash with gorgeous Italian restaurants - but Stekka is proof there is always room for one more! In fact, after 3 visits in 3 weeks it is fast becoming our favourite. We love the way they “top and tail” the menu - giving...

Really kind staff, great food and beautiful place. They really take care of you and make sure you have a nice evening. Definitely recommend this place for a chilled dinner in London.

Take one of London’s best Italian chefs, match him with a talented and enthusiastic service team in a relaxed and casual local eatery and it is bound to turn out well. Three meals and three outstanding experiences.

Really good Italian. We had a variety of pasta and risotto dishes and they were fabulous. There are a few things that I had an issue with, hence my rating. First of all the pasta was too al dente and the food in general on...

I had the best truffle tagliolini ever!! Feel like being in italy. Quality amazing amd the chef Stecca is really friendly. Will definitly recomment the place and go back!

If you looking for real Italian food - you must try STECCA.(best spaghetti lobster in town) Chef Stefano is then a true legend :)

I finally found my favourite place. In a stunning location in the heart of Chelsea I found this elegant and at the same time comfortable restaurant that me and my wife felt in love after few seconds we stepped in. The menu’ is always seasonal...

Warm welcome, excellent staff. Good atmosphere & tasty food. I had pasta with Monkfish sauce & Carpaccio of beef. A most enjoyable evening.

We had dinner with friends last night and we had mixed starters and then the LOBSTER TAGLIONI that was spectacular!! I never had a pasta like that in London! The sauce was amazing and I wish they could have put more lobster ! :P Then...

Cena a Londra in ristorante italiano. Innanzitutto grandissima cordialità e disponibilità. Ottimi i prodotti e le preparazioni

We had an amazing lunch, starters were absolutely perfect, pasta and risotto so tasty. not even in Italy is easy to find those flavours. Top quality ingredients and a perfect execution! Can’t wait to go back!

Fresh pasta with a delicious pomodoro. Fresh tagliolini with fresh poricini raggu. Perfect veal chop with lovely salad and sautéed spinach with garlic. Great attentive service. Tenth time there and it’s excellent. Lobster pasta is beautiful.

We wanted to enjoy the sunny day and have lunch sitting outside, we were lucky to find Stecca , we were able to enjoy our lunch in the cosy garden with our kid, the food was amazing the best carpaccio I had in ages ,...

My last visit to Stecca was met with an infuriating episode of frustration. My partner and I visited on a quiet evening with ravenous appetites, and ordered meals that could have been satisfied with the most basic of kitchens — spaghetti pomodoro and roast chicken....

Beautiful Italian cooking in a great, simple but elegant venue. Service very good. Prices very good, especially considering it's Ken & Cheslea. Would absolutely consider this a destination to visit also. I love the River Cafe but food at Stecca is probably more 'Italian' Italian,...

We had a lunch for a group of friends at Stecca, the service was excellent and the food was very nice. We didn't feel rushed by the staff, even though we stayed 3.5 hours. I would recommend this restaurant for a nice leisurely lunch. Ambience...

Amazing food (authentic Italian recipes and high-quality ingredients) and good value for money. The atmosphere is very Italian as well, warm and friendly, perfect for a group of friends/family or a date

I was truly surprised how wonderful a dish can be what I've tried several times in my life. A simple bowl of ravioli with black truffle and Parmesan shavings. Great authentic Italian food and warm ambiance.

what a delicious meal, all the dishes we had from the antipasti to the wonderful filled pasta and seafood were amazing. The talented Stefano is a great chef and excellent host. Well worth going, definitely will be a regular place for us

I went there yesterday with my wife and two children. The atmosphere were really nice and we enjoyed ourselves immensly. The Italian food was incredibly good, and even our picky daughter ate a lot of food. I fully recomend this really nice and autentic Italian...

My family and I went to this restaurant and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life. The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The service was excellent, everyone was very inviting and warm. My 3 year old loved it...

I found this place an insult to Italian food (I am Italian). The black truffle risotto was the worst risotto I have had in a while, it tasted all but truffle. On top of that, it didn’t have any salt. My friend’s monkfish had no...

Lunch time: we were sharing a table in three and we did not expect such an amazing experience! The food was extremely fresh and tasty; from starters like Culatello, Octopus Salad and Crudi di Pesce to Sicilian Cannoli and Mascarpone's cream topped with chocolate flavor......
